Geos Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Felt like late September today. Coolest day since June 13th. Cloudy all day with 0.07" of rain. Nice write up by LOT on the last storm that went through. http://www.crh.noaa....=86308&source=0 And probably because of that storm, Lake Michigan surface temperatures have taken a dive.

Boogieman Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 If you guys grew up in the tropics like I did you'd be immune to allergies. There's so much crazy stuff in the air down there compared to here, and it's every month of the year, not much of a break during winter. I was in Huntsville, AL during summer of '88 and I got one of the most painful fungal infections in my ears. It was like someone pounded spikes through my eardrums. Lasted a good week and the first two days all I could do was lay down and be miserable. I couldn't even stand to chew food for four days. Since then, any infections I've had in my ears have been quite short lived and mild in comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boogieman Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 TWC popped a high of 90 on Thursday for Flint when I saw it this morning. NWS says 87 last I looked. Prior to this morning I believe the high was in the low 80's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Only 70 for a high here with all the clouds. July's intense heat is already becoming a distant memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Kind of an awful day here. Sick of the rain. Agreed. I was hoping this crap would hold off until September, but oh well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Starting off foggy and dewy this morning. Low 53°. With full sun right now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted August 14, 2012 Author Share Posted August 14, 2012 0.54" at LAF yesterday. Looks like the bucket there is finally fixed...for the time being. Grass in my yard, while certainly not being lush, is the greenest it's looked in a couple of months. Also, sitting at +0.1º for August through yesterday.

wisconsinwx Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 74F right now with a fair amount of cloudiness. Should be the 7th straight day with a high in the 70s if the clouds don't scour out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I wonder what's up with Terre Haute. They are reporting haze and visibility of 1/2 mile.

Brewers Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Absolute perfect day made it to 77 before the lake breeze came through, also a decent amount cumulus out there today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Absolute perfect day made it to 77 before the lake breeze came through, also a decent amount cumulus out there today. Actually, with a little luck tomorrow (an isolated storm or two or perhaps some cloud debris), it might be a struggle to make it into the 80s again tomorrow. Looking at the extended, if that happened, it might mean two straight weeks without touching 80. I know I'm getting ahead of myself, but it is remotely possible.

Even if we make it to 80 tomorrow the next week or so looks awesome for mid August. We actually may be headed for our first below normal month in a very long time.

SpartyOn Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Managed to pull a nice day off here. Sun came out around noon. Temps have responded nicely.

Boogieman Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 The last few days have allowed me to get caught up on yard projects and start recovering my lawn... Screw heat. The same here. I discovered a thistle hiding behind the shed that was as tall as me! It had pickers two inches long that were like sewing needles. I took the lawnmower to it.

Jonger Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Yard projects in the rain? It stopped raining early in the day here yesterday and none today. Took a jog and also enjoyed work for the first time in 2.5 months. Heat... Its the 3rd world suck. Yea, sweating at 95+ degrees outside is just a blast. Beyond swimming, what outdoor activity is better above 75 degrees? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
